Valentines Day is looming and although you shouldn’t need an excuse to treat your loved one we have some gifts and cards for that special day . Choose from our beautifully crafted jewellery and glass or ceramic hearts.

If you prefer something more floral, we have these Valentines Kiss lilies bulbs or a selection of roses ready to be planted for a permanent reminder!

If you fancy something handmade for Christmas then we have a selection of glass tree decorations and suncatchers made by myself! We have also had a fresh delivery of trees today if you needed something to hang them on!

Festive Suncatchers

If you always fancied learning how to copper foil I am available for 1 to 1 tuition, you could book a session for a loved one as a Christmas present! Just give us a ring for details.

Festive wreath

We have festive wreaths for sale, this one is an alternative to the traditional but we also have natural holly wreaths available.

For our cat loving customers meet a new addition to the team. This is Tom one half of two kittens we got from the Blue Cross, Jerry (naturally) is the other brother but is very difficult to photograph, hopefully he will stand still for me long enough to get a decent photo soon!

This is a new piece of copper foiled glass entitled ‘The Castle’. Its inspired by Mussorgskys ‘Pictures at an Exhibition’ after a call by the EMG Symphony Orchestra for Devon artists to create work inspired by a movement from it.

The EMG will be preforming Pictures at an Exhibition at Exeter Cathedral on 25th November at 7.30 where you can view this and other artworks. http://www.emgsymphonyorchestra.org/ for details..

We have just taken delivery of pots from Pot Porrium who travelled from East Anglia and made a wonderful display for us. We are the only stockists in the South West so you are sure to find something different.

We are also adding to our plant stock on a weekly basis so now have climbers such as clematis and wisteria and favourites such as rhododendron and azaleas. For those who are still waiting for the bulbs to come out we have daffs, crocus and primroses to name a few to add a bit of instant colour.

We now have our new road signs up so anyone who doesn’t know we are here has no excuse now!

Finally, we are lucky to have on sale a selection of beautiful and original hand made tiles by Exmoor based ceramicist Jacqueline Leighton Boyce. Our photos don’t do the work justice but they feature an iridescent glaze which sparkles in the sunlight! Inspired by nature each is carefully observed and delicately executed. If you are after a unique piece of art and reasonably priced then come and see us!

We have got to the stage in the craft shop refurbishment when we are ready to put paintings up. So we are very lucky to have a selection of oil paintings by Cambridge artist Ashley Baldwin Smith. With these paintings he has given us a reminder of the fens of East Anglia and captured the beautiful sunsets and never ending skys that inspired Constable and Turner. We feel very lucky that he has given us this chance to show and sell his work. He has also been inspired by the rolling hills of Devon and the beauty of Exmoor and for anyone wanting a local scene we have his ‘Storm over Exmoor’ oil painting which perfectly captures the drama and atmosphere of the breaking storm. Go on to our links to click onto his site for more information and better reproductions of his work.

Hilary Butler Pottery

We also have some individual pottery by Hilary Butler who also makes the beautiful (Devon beach collected) sea glass sculptures and hangings as well as dicroic glass pendants. So all in all feeling that the shop is beginning to look very good (though I must admit we haven’t got the floor tiles yet!) we still have some amazing jewellery for sale from Glitz’n'Glamour, Vivabeader, KMD , brooches by Lucy’s Designs and Snapdragon and also some stained glass by Helen Fonnereau..(thats me).
